Volume 1: Lin'an Turmoil Chapter 2 What is the truth?

Fortunately, there were enough obstacles in the pavilion, and it was difficult for the arrows fired by those assassins to effectively attack Zhao Ming.

It's just that Zhao Ying is a little familiar with the arrow feather, but he always thinks of where he has seen it.

He comforted Wan Yanxue, who was trembling in his arms, and said, "Don't worry, it's okay, General Yue will definitely come to save us." ”

"As long as there is a son, I am not afraid."

Wan Yanxue pretended to be weak, but said with a determined look in her eyes.

"Ahh

Arrows burst through the air, and all kinds of screams came from the woods, and even the sound of rain could not hide it. After a while, it finally quieted down.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, Yue Fei is here, where are you, the assassins have been wiped out by the ministers."

"It's General Yue."

Zhao Ying was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and said, "General Yue, I'm here..."

"Be careful!"

An arrow burst through the air and shot straight into Zhao Ming's chest. Fortunately, Wan Yan Xue's eyes were quick and she quickly knocked Zhao Ying down. It's just that the arrow was too fast, and it pierced Yan Xue's shoulder.

Zhao Ying didn't do anything, but his hands were stained with Wan Yanxue's blood, and he sat on the ground in a daze, unable to make any sound.

"Ahem, Childe, be careful."

Wan Yan Xue's coughing up blood interrupted Zhao Ying's sluggishness, and he hurriedly checked Yan Xue's injuries. The injuries are serious, and if they are not treated early, their lives will inevitably be in danger.

It's just that in this situation, where does he have time to send Yan Xue to treatment, that is, whether he can survive today is unknown.

Three black-clothed men walked out of the woods, carrying knives and crossbows, and walked towards Zhao Ying step by step. Zhao Ying and Wan Yan Xue hid by the stone table in the pavilion, hiding the eyes of the assassins.

Those black-clothed men didn't put their bows and arrows anymore, as if they couldn't use them against a Zhao Yin.

"Woohoo."

Three arrows were shot from behind the man in black, and the three men in black were killed. Then the horse's hooves thundered and collapsed like lightning. Yue Fei rode his jujube red horse, held a red tassel gun, and galloped through the rain.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince."

Even if it was really Yue Fei who came this time, Zhao Ying still hid by the stone table and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Here, General, here."

Wang Gui saw Zhao Ying hiding beside the stone table, and Wan Yanxue, who was already unconscious in his arms, and hurriedly shouted to Yue Fei.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, are you alright?"

"Save her."

After Zhao Ying saw Yue Fei, a glimmer of light finally appeared in her eyes, and she hurriedly signaled Wan Yanxue, who was still bleeding in her arms.

"Quick."

Yue Fei hurriedly shouted, asked people to drive the carriage over, and sent Zhao Ying and Wan Yanxue back to Beijing for treatment.

Exhausted, Zhao Ying finally fainted. In a daze, he saw Yue Yun look shocked after checking the assassin's face.

Then, Yue Yun seemed to have his guards carry away all the bodies of the three assassins.

It seemed that another group of people had come, and Yue Fei followed him anxiously, constantly making the carriage faster.

In the moment before he was completely unconscious, Zhao Ying finally understood why he was familiar with those arrows.

It was the Yue Family's special arrow!

Zichen Palace,

Li Hui knelt down in front of Liu Chan, Liu Chan's face was as calm as water, and people couldn't see joy and anger. It's just that the cold atmosphere in the main hall, the palace maids and eunuchs who are even careful to breathe, it is difficult not to know Liu Chan's temper at this time.

"Have you found out the identity of the assassin?"

"I found it out, they are all some scum and bandits in Lin'an. On weekdays, I don't have a serious job, and I only rely on robbery to get by. ”

"Then why did they assassinate the prince?"

"Maybe they saw that the prince was dressed luxuriously, and they had evil intentions, and they had the idea of seeking money and killing people."

"The idea of seeking money and killing people is on the head of the prince? It's a good story, a good plot. Do I want to set up a troupe for you to sing? ”

Li Hui's palms were sweating, and his back was even wetter with sweat.

"Your Majesty, when the minister was investigating the identity of the assassin, something happened that was particularly strange."

"Eccentric? What's weird? ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, when the minister asked General Yue for the bodies of the three assassins, he was deliberately delayed for a while. Although General Yue's approach is very secretive, people like us Shadow Guard can see it at a glance. ”

"Oh? Go on. ”

"Also, the minister heard that the prince was assassinated with a bow and crossbow, but the arrows found at the scene were not arrow feathers that matched the bow and crossbow."

The more Li Hui spoke, the more excited he became, and continued: "Also, the family member who died was killed by someone with an arrow, so the assassin must be proficient in archery. However, he found that the palms of the three assassins did not have calluses left by the arrows. ”

"Interesting, really interesting." Liu Chan sneered twice and said, "It seems that there are still many things in this Lin'an City that I don't know, in your opinion, who do you think has a problem?" ”

Li Hui gritted his teeth, but still said the sentence: "The minister feels that this assassination must have an unknown relationship with Lu Guogong. ”

"How long has Yue Fei been named Duke of Lu Guo?"

"Less than a month."

"It's less than a month, it's not even a month, it seems that I am too kind to the Yue family."

Li Hui didn't know what Liu Chan wanted to say this, but he could already smell the smell of bloody rain.

"How's that woman?"

"There is no danger to my life anymore, but I am still in a coma."

"Have you found out your identity?"

"Well, I wandered to Lin'an from other places two months ago. A month ago, because he borrowed a tael of silver from a local loan shark, he couldn't afford to pay it back, so he took refuge everywhere and met the prince in a tea shed. ”

"It's so complicated, do you want to kill Lin'an cleanly."

Liu Chan was a little painful, he really didn't want to be an emperor, he didn't want to deal with these things. He planned to abdicate to the crown prince Zhao Ying when the child in Wu Guifei's belly grew up a little.

But now, there is such a thing again, what should he do?

If this problem is not solved, it will leave a thorn in the prince's heart. When the time comes, he will abdicate to the crown prince, and the prince may not be troublesome to him.

"The prince was not assassinated, do you know?"

"Huh?"

Li Hui couldn't understand Liu Chan's thoughts, and looked at Liu Chan suspiciously.

"Today, the prince pavilion was playing, and he slipped and fell into a coma, is it clear?"

"Clear, clear."

"I don't want anyone who knows about this to get out, you know?"

"Understood, after the minister returned, he warned everyone who knew about it this time."

"If you know, go down, and call that kid Yue Yun over by the way."

"Yes, the minister retired."

As Liu Chan said, the assassination of the prince is not important, what matters is the prince's attitude towards him because of this matter.

"Ahh

Zhao Ying woke up from the nightmare and sat up.

"Prince, Prince, are you okay?"

Zhao Ying looked at the palace maids and eunuchs who came over with joyful expressions, and signaled that he was fine.

"Where's my father?"

"Your Majesty is in the upper court, Prince, you are about to be in a coma for a day."

"What about the Assassins, have they been caught?"

"What kind of assassin, Prince, didn't you slip."

"Go, go, leave quickly, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs now is rest."

Zhao Ming's personal guards drove everyone away and closed the door.

"Yang He, what the hell is going on?"

Zhao Jin's face was serious, making it difficult to see joy and anger.

"Your Majesty said that the matter of the assassin cannot be made public, otherwise the government and the opposition will boil. However, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to investigate privately, it is also possible. ”

"How's the woman who came with me?"

"She is still in a coma, Your Highness doesn't need to worry, her life is no longer in danger."

"That's good, that's good."

"Your Highness, you are scared to death this time. What is going to happen to you, how can I live with my subordinates? In the future, you must bring a guard and go out again. ”

"Got it, got it. Has the identity of the assassin been clarified? ”

"The people of the Imperial City Division said that they were some ruffians in Lin'an."

"A ruffian? The ruffians don't have as much skill as they do. ”

As the person who was assassinated, how could he not know that the person who assassinated him was from the army. Whether it's the technique of using a bow and crossbow, or the attacking phalanx, where will the ruffians use it?

"But the people of the Imperial City Division don't lie, do they?"

"This matter is not so simple, my father didn't let me investigate publicly, and I can't explain the problem. The people involved in this, even the father and the emperor are not willing to do it easily. ”

"How can there be such a person in the DPRK?"

"Didn't you?"

Zhao Ying sneered, he still remembered Yue Yun's shock when he saw the assassin's face.

These assassins must be inseparable from the Yue family's army, it is unlikely that they are the back Wei army, if the back Wei army makes a move, he will definitely not survive.

Liu Chan is benevolent and righteous, thinking that today's army is personally trained by various commanders, so he allows this generation of commanders to change the title of the army after retirement.

So now the Yue family army still retains the banner of the Yue family army, and Han Shizhong's Han family army has long been renamed the Imperial Forest Army.

"Who is Your Highness suspicious?"

"I can't say it yet, we have to wait for the evidence to be found."

If Zhao Ying insisted on investigating Yue Fei, then he would inevitably lose a big boost in the army, and his position as the crown prince would be even more precarious at that time.

So now I can only stand still and investigate secretly in private. If there is nothing to do, it is fine, but if there is something, Zhao Ying will win over a group of fierce generals in the army and remove Yue Fei from his official position

It's just that with Liu Chan here, it's really that easy.

After Yue Yun came out of the Zichen Palace, he let out a long breath. It happened so suddenly, even if he moved quickly, it left a lot of evidence.

Fortunately, it didn't attract many people's attention to this matter, and His Majesty deliberately covered it up, so it didn't make much waves.

"What's wrong with you, why are you sighing, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, father, I'm just a little worried about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Don't worry, I just learned that the prince has woken up, do you want to go with me to have a look?"

"Forget it, Your Majesty still has something to do with me, so I won't go."

"Something happened to Jin Guo again?"

"yes, those little tribes are in turmoil again."

"Okay, you go over first, I'll go see the prince."

Yue Yun looked at Yue Fei's back as he left, and let out another sigh of relief.

Because those assassins are the soldiers of the Yue family's army!
