"It's him again, it seems that the prince has reached the point of madness, and he actually wants to kill me!" King Zhao's eyes flashed with anger.

Concubine Yun, who was hiding behind him, saw the assassin in front of her and pretended to be afraid, "King Zhao, I'm so scared!" ”

Concubine Yun hugged King Zhao tightly and said in a trembling voice.

King Zhao frowned, and said coldly: "Don't be afraid, he will be fine." ”

As soon as the words fell, he immediately ordered the guards beside him, "Protect Concubine Yun and don't let her get hurt!" ”

The guards immediately took action and protected Concubine Yun in the middle, while King Zhao stared at the assassin in front of him, secretly vigilant in his heart, who is this assassin? Why did he assassinate himself?

At this time, King Zhao had already sent guards to find the crown prince, hoping that he could arrive as soon as possible to solve this crisis, and suddenly two assassins came out of the darkness.

"Who are you? Dare to assassinate this king! King Zhao shouted loudly and pulled out the sword in his hand at the same time.

The assassins didn't speak, just sneered and looked at King Zhao, who had a short sword in their hands and rushed towards King Zhao.

King Zhao swung his sword to meet the attack, secretly surprised in his heart.

This assassin's swordsmanship is very skillful, it seems to be on par with his own swordsmanship, who is he? Why do you have such a high sword technique?

The swordsmanship of the two collided with each other, making a crisp metallic sound.

Their figures staggered in the moonlight, like two dancing butterflies.

King Zhao found that the assassin's swordsmanship seemed to be somewhat similar to his own, but it was different.

This is a very clever swordsmanship, even more exquisite than his own swordsmanship.

Gradually, King Zhao felt that this assassin didn't seem to mean to kill him, but was testing his strength, and he couldn't help but wonder even more in his heart, who was this assassin? Why do you test your strength so much?

At this time, Zhao Lixiang arrived at the scene, and when he saw that King Zhao and the assassin were fighting, he immediately drew the sword in his hand and rushed towards the assassin.

When the assassin saw Zhao Lixiang, he immediately stopped his attack and turned to look at Zhao Lixiang, their eyes meeting in the air, as if a very subtle reaction had occurred.

"Mean woman? You're finally here. The Assassin spoke, his voice hoarse.

"Who are you? Why did you assassinate my father? Zhao Lixiang asked, holding the sword tightly in his hand.

The assassin didn't answer her question, but looked at King Zhao again, "Why are you asking so much?" In short, you all have to die tonight, and assassinating King Zhao is something that many people dream of doing. ”

King Zhao was shocked!

Immediately looking at his arm, he realized that his arm had been scratched by the Assassin.

He felt a pang of weakness, as if all his strength had been withdrawn from his body.

When Concubine Yun saw that King Zhao was injured, she immediately screamed, "Blood...... It's blood, King Zhao! What's wrong with you? ”

King Zhao didn't speak, just shook his head.

He felt very tired and seemed to want to sleep. Gradually, his eyes closed, and he leaned forward.

"Father!" Zhao Lixiang shouted, rushing towards King Zhao, but it was too late, King Zhao had already fallen to the ground, the wound was pus, and the assassin's sword was poisonous?

Zhao Lixiang held King Zhao in his arms and felt a burst of grief. He turned his head to look at the Assassin, "Who the hell are you?" Why do you want to assassinate my father, you know, this is the crime of killing the king! ”

The assassin didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Lixiang with a sneer. Suddenly, he rushed towards the prince, and the short sword in his hand stabbed Zhao Lixiang's arm, this sword would not kill Zhao Lixiang, but it also made Zhao Lixiang wonder who these people were.

At this time, King Zhao slowly woke up, saw that Zhao Lixiang was injured, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" Are you also hurt? ”

Zhao Lixiang's arms were covered in blood. King Zhao was very worried, but Zhao Lixiang said: "Father, this is just a skin injury, it's not a big deal, but my father was stabbed in the chest, these assassins' swords are poisonous, father, you must not have anything to do!" ”

When King Zhao heard Zhao Lixiang's words, his heart palpitated!

He immediately looked at his chest, only to see a shallow wound on his chest, surrounded by black marks, apparently poison left by the Assassins.

King Zhao's heart ached, but he still tried to comfort Zhao Lixiang: "Lixiang, don't worry, my father will be fine." Go and call the Imperial Doctor and let them see your injuries. ”

Zhao Lixiang nodded, and immediately went to find the imperial doctor, King Zhao looked at her back, and sighed in his heart, this daughter has always been so strong, so brave, although her injuries are not serious, but her worry and concern make him feel extremely warm.

It didn't take long for the imperial doctor to arrive, and they examined King Zhao's injuries and found that the wound was not deep, but the poison had already entered the body and needed immediate treatment. They immediately began to prepare medicinal materials for the treatment of King Zhao.

King Zhao was lying on the bed, thinking about what had just happened, and he was afraid for a while that if Li Xiang hadn't arrived in time, he might have been assassinated by those assassins.

Zhao Lixiang has been staying by King Zhao's side, asking about his condition with concern, constantly comforting him, King Zhao looked at her, his heart was moved, he knew that this daughter really cared about him and worried about his safety.

The poison has been removed,

King Zhao also wanted to recuperate for a while, and Zhao Lixiang had been by his side, but King Zhao suddenly remembered the assassins just now. Doubts arose in my heart.

These assassins could have killed him just now, but they only left after he was injured, which made King Zhao feel strange.

Zhao Lixiang, who was sitting in front of the bed in front of him and taking care of King Zhao, had fallen asleep on the bed, Zhao Lixiang was probably sleepy at this time, and when King Zhao looked at her, she remembered that Zhao Heng came to ask him to kill Zhao Han, and then Zhao Lixiang said that Zhao Han had committed crimes, as well as the assassin's affairs...... The piles and piles of these things are pointing at Zhao Han.

Could it be that Zhao Han ...... Really betrayed Zhao State?

There are still people framing the prince behind his back, and the matter of the assassin makes King Zhao feel very weird, and he wants to start with the assassin and find out about this matter, but at this moment, a minister walked in, "King Zhao, those assassins have been caught!" ”

Hearing this, King Zhao's eyes lit up, and he looked at the minister and said: "Put all of them on death row, remember, keep them alive, torture them and ask who ordered them to assassinate this king." ”

Hearing King Zhao's words, the minister immediately responded: "Yes, King Zhao." ”

Then he turned and left the main hall.

King Zhao sat up from the bed, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

This assassination is by no means ordinary, and it is very likely that it is a conspiracy against Zhao Han.

Therefore, he decided to make good use of this opportunity to find out who was behind the scenes, in order to consolidate his power and status, and find out who was behind the scenes, if all this was done by Zhao Han, then King Zhao would also kill Zhao Han.

Soon after, the Assassins were brought to King Zhao, and they were escorted by the soldiers, each with their heads bowed, not daring to look at King Zhao.

King Zhao glanced at them for a moment, and then said, "You assassins, you dare to assassinate this king, it's really lawless. Now tell me, who commanded you to come? ”

The assassins were silent, and no one answered King Zhao's question. Seeing this, King Zhao's face sank, and he said to the ministers beside him: "Punish them." ”

The Chancellor nodded, and ordered the soldiers to begin punishing the Assassins.

Whips, soldering irons, finger flickers...... All kinds of cruel torture instruments appeared, but the assassins kept their teeth on the ground, and none of them confessed.

When King Zhao saw this, he was very angry in his heart!

He knew that these Assassins must have undergone rigorous training and preparation before they dared to attack him. So, he decided to take matters into his own hands to deal with the Assassins.

King Zhao said to his minister, "Take these assassins down, and this king will interrogate them himself." ”

The minister answered, and left the hall with the soldiers.

King Zhao interrogated the assassins again in the main hall.

When the assassins finally spoke, they all said that Zhao Han was the mastermind behind them.

King Zhao sighed helplessly and said to the minister, "Execute them all." ”

The minister nodded, and ordered the soldiers to escort the assassins out of the main hall.

Not long after, the news of the execution came, and King Zhao just said lightly after hearing it: "Got it." ”

Executing all of these assassins would allow the mastermind behind the scenes to let down their guard, making it easier to show their feet.

After looking for it, it was hard to believe that these assassins were instructed by Zhao Han to kill him, because at this time, King Zhao felt that Zhao Han was still in the Qin State, and these assassins might have someone else.

However, King Zhao already had his own calculations, that is, he would plan and directly identify Zhao Han as the mastermind behind these assassins, so he happened to fall into the hands of those who framed Zhao Han.
