"Since you are so strong now, why would anyone dare to send an assassin to assassinate you on your way back to Linjiang?"

"Moreover, three groups of assassins were actually sent......"

Hearing these words, Sima Youran was not surprised, after all, there was a pair of well-trained Red Tiger Guards by his father's side, and there were also scouts of Red Tiger Guards in the capital. That's why the news of his assassination reached his father so quickly.

The Red Tiger Guard is a guard army secretly formed by Yuan Hao and Sima Qianye when Emperor Ming first succeeded to the throne, and is responsible for some special escort operations and intelligence work; The people who became the Red Tiger Guard were all selected from the four major armies to stand out, so the average strength of the Red Tiger Guard was stronger than that of the four major armies.

After Emperor Ming approved Sima Qianye's resignation, he was worried about Sima Qianye's safety in the future, so he secretly summoned Sima Qianye the day before Sima Qianye left Beijing and handed him a team of Red Tiger Guards.

In fact, many of the Red Tiger Guards who followed Sima Qianye back to Linjiang have been promoted to other armies and become generals, and Emperor Ming did not forget to replenish fresh blood to Sima Qianye's Red Tiger Guard.

......

"I did encounter a few assassinations on the way, but fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a team of Prince soldiers to escort me...... By the way, father, the group of princely soldiers is stationed in the woods two miles outside the city, and he asked my father to order someone to bring them some dry food and water. "The Red Tiger Guard and the subordinates of Sima Xiangfu are all directly under Sima Qianye's orders, and the assassination of Sima Youran and the presence of a team of prince's private soldiers outside the city, the less you know, the better.

"Well, I've already ordered someone to do it. Sima Qianye nodded and said. "It should be almost ...... by now"

At this moment, a whistle sounded outside the garden.

"Come in. Sima Qianye said towards the dark entrance of the garden.

A Red Tiger Guard, who was wearing a black night suit with his face hidden, walked from the entrance, came to Sima Qianye, removed his mask, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Excellency, dry food and water have been delivered to Commander Xie outside the city, and the assassin who attempted to assassinate Gongzi outside Ling Wu Pavilion is also awake and is now under interrogation." ”

"Ling Wuge?assassination?" Sima asked leisurely, puzzled.

"Do you and the crown prince think that no assassin will dare to assassinate you when you enter Linjiang City?" Sima Qianye said.

"When you went to the banquet in Ling Wu Pavilion, I let a dozen Red Tiger Guards disguise themselves as ordinary diners and infiltrate Ling Wu Pavilion, and sure enough, I found a group of assassins who wanted to assassinate you, and I was afraid that they would take poison and kill themselves, so Red Tiger Guard subdued them and knocked them unconscious before they could make a move. After Sima Qianye explained the origin of the incident to Sima leisurely, he didn't forget to joke: "So, don't be naïve and think that it will be safe to return to Linjiang." ”

It turned out that Sima Qianye already knew that the assassins who assassinated Sima Youran had all taken poison and died. But there is no way, these assassins are already mentally prepared when they carry out the assassination, and they will take poison regardless of success or failure. That's why Sima Qianye asked the Red Tiger Guard to knock the assassins unconscious before they were noticing.

Sima Ran listened leisurely, nodded and said, "Okay, father, I will be more careful in the future." ”

In fact, Sima Youran didn't care too much about the fact that so many people wanted to kill him, after all, the things he did in the capital this year touched the interests of too many people, which indirectly caused the person in the palace to have the idea of getting rid of him.

"The poison in the assassins' bodies and teeth has been disposed of, do you want to interrogate them? After Sima Qianye waved his hand to let the Red Tiger Guard retreat, he said leisurely to Sima Ran.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow. ”

"But, father, do you know what His Majesty wants me to return to Linjiang for at this time?" asked Sima leisurely.

Sima Qianye sighed...... Finally got to the point.

"Your Majesty asked you to come back...... I want to tell you the truth of the year......"

"The Truth ...... About Queen Yan's Death"

At this time, Sima Qianye's voice was a little hoarse.

......

......

The bottom of the Hao River, the Dragon Palace

In a quiet room, Hao Yue was sitting on a squatting stone platform with her eyes closed, and she was not wearing a veil at this time.

That's right, Hao Yue is the true dragon of the Heavenly Dao who has lived at the bottom of the Haojiang River for thousands of years.

She is Hao Yue and a dragon girl.

At this time, He Rong'er's purple jade plate was suspended in front of her, and the purple jade card was still flashing with a little golden light. And these golden lights were actually slowly flowing into Hao Yue's body.

After a while, Hao Yue opened her eyes. The purple jade plaque was still suspended in front of her, but the golden light was gone.

"This strange aura can flow into my body unimpeded. Hao Yue thought so.

It's really that this breath feels too strange for her, as if it's ...... This breath is the same as hers!

"It seems that we have to go to the mortal named Sima Youran to understand the origin of this purple jade plate...... " Hao Yue muttered.

She didn't know that at this time, in a Taoist temple in the capital, a person who looked like a Taoist suddenly woke up from meditation.

He suddenly felt that the dragon qi of the Li family was actually ...... Churned?

This is a big deal, and it must be given to the emperor!
