Chapter 371 Assassination 1

How could I not like such a heroic sword dance?

I don’t know how much effort the King of Yan put into finding so many young girls with martial arts skills and rehearsing such a wonderful performance.

The emperor smiled and nodded repeatedly: "My son is thoughtful. I really like it."

The King of Yan smiled: "As long as your father likes it, it is worth my efforts."

As he said that, he glanced at the Crown Prince intentionally or unintentionally.

A cold look flashed in the Crown Prince's eyes, and he sneered in his heart. The King of Yan took great pains to arrange such a sword dance. It seems that the wonderful "good show" is still to come!

The drums became more and more frequent, and the sword dance became faster and more intense.

The emperor was intoxicated by the sight, and he couldn't help but think of the past when he led troops to fight the enemy in his youth. For a time, he was excited and couldn't help himself.

At this moment, something strange happened!

The young woman standing in front of the dance suddenly showed murderous intent and rushed forward with a long sword. The cold sword pointed directly at the emperor's chest!

This sudden change was too sudden!

Everyone was shocked!

"Father, be careful!" The prince sat closest to the emperor and subconsciously rushed forward.

Unfortunately, he had been seriously injured on the battlefield. Although he had rested carefully, his bones were injured. His skills were not as sharp as before, and he could not save him at all. He was only two steps away, watching the sword about to pierce the emperor's chest.

At this moment, another figure blocked the emperor in time.

It was the King of Yan who was sitting on the right side of the emperor!

The sharp sword pierced the King of Yan's chest, and a blood flower instantly bloomed on the King of Yan's chest.

The King of Yan had a sharp pain in his chest, his handsome face was pale, and his eyes were full of pain. But he did not forget to shout: "Come here, catch the assassin!"

The imperial guards guarding the palace had already reacted and quickly surrounded them.

Yang Wei, the commander of the imperial guards sitting at the table, had a drastic change of expression. He pulled out his long sword without thinking and threw it out with force. The sharp long sword flew out like an arrow from a bow.

The female assassin seemed to have eyes behind her. She pulled out her long sword with force and knocked down the long sword with a ding.

The King of Yan screamed miserably, and blood splashed on his chest, quickly soaking the clothes on his chest.

More than a dozen imperial guards attacked together and surrounded the female assassin in the middle. Although the female assassin was very skilled, she was alone and soon lost the upper hand.

...

The emperor witnessed this scene with his own eyes and was already pale with shock.

If the King of Yan had moved a little slower just now, the sword would have stabbed him!

For everyone, it was just a blink of an eye, so fast that no one could react in time. In a blink of an eye, the King of Yan stepped forward to block the assassin, and the assassin had been stabbed in many places. It was only a matter of time before he was defeated and killed.

The concubines had never seen such a bloody scene before, and they screamed in fear.

Amid the screams, Concubine Wei Xian was the calmest one. She shouted loudly: "Come here, protect the emperor! Capture all these people, and don't let any of them go!"

The female assassin led the dance, and the other women, even if they were not accomplices, could not be let go!

Even if Concubine Wei Xian didn't give orders, the guards guarding outside the palace had heard the strange movement and rushed in to protect the emperor!

Although Ling Jingshu was mentally prepared, she didn't expect the scene to be so chaotic, and subconsciously took two steps back.

Everyone's eyes were on the emperor and the seriously injured Prince Yan.

The guards who came to rescue the emperor surrounded the female assassin and those young women with murderous intent. The prince who had already reached the side of the emperor, on the contrary, was ignored.

At such a tense moment, a vague idea flashed through Ling Jingshu's mind.

No!

This assassination was clearly intentional by Prince Yan. How come the injured person is the King of Yan?

Unless...

This result was expected by the King of Yan. It was a smokescreen prepared by the King of Yan to confuse everyone.

The person he really wanted to kill was not the emperor, but another important person.

Ling Jingshu paused for a breath and looked at the prince.

...

The prince had walked to the side of the emperor. Looking at the King of Yan lying in the emperor's arms, bleeding and dying, a complex and inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes.

This assassination was both expected and unexpected.

How could the injured person be the King of Yan?

However, this is definitely not the time to get to the bottom of it. As the prince, he must be calm and calm at this time and grasp the overall situation.

"Father, calm down!" The prince said in a deep voice: "This assassin will definitely not get away today. I will definitely catch the mastermind behind the scenes."

The emperor was still in shock and had no mood to listen to these. He said angrily with an ugly face: "Let's talk about this later. Hurry up and get someone to save the King of Yan."

The prince's face was a little hot.

Although he wanted to save people, his actions were slower than those of the King of Yan. The emperor was partial to one person, and now he was probably partial to the King of Yan.

Wei Yan and Doctor Zhou, who were sitting at the end of the table, ran over with their medicine boxes without waiting for orders to give the King of Yan first aid. The emperor sat on the dragon throne, and the King of Yan lay weakly in the emperor's arms. Wei Yan and Doctor Zhou also came to the dragon throne.

The prince naturally stepped back two steps.

The eunuch who was serving the emperor wine quietly approached the prince, and a silver needle with a black glow slipped out of his sleeve and was lightly held in his hand.

The palace was in chaos, and the prince was completely unaware of the eunuch's approach.

…

The female assassin was no match for the guards, and soon fell to the ground with serious injuries.

The other young women were also forced to one place by the guards with swords, and all of them had pale faces and pale faces. Those who were less timid were already trembling and crying that they were wronged.

The emperor's grandson pulled out the long knife from his waist and said coldly: "Keep alive!"

All the guards acted very carefully and did not hurt the female assassin's vital parts. The female assassin was covered in blood and bruises. She looked terrifying, but in fact, her life was not in danger.

Guard commander Yang Wei and deputy commander Sun Yi stood behind the emperor's grandson, each with heavy and ugly expressions on their faces.

Surrounded by the imperial guards, an assassination attempt occurred, almost injuring the emperor. This was like a slap in the face to both of them!

After this incident, both of them will definitely be severely punished! It could be as minor as losing his official position, but in a fit of anger, the emperor would kill both of them.

"Who ordered you to assassinate the emperor's grandfather!" The emperor's grandson's voice was full of chills: "If you tell me who the messenger is, you can keep your body intact. Otherwise, thousands of swords will be waiting for you. cut!"

The female assassin didn't say a word, but there was a hint of ridicule in her eyes. Then, black blood overflowed from his mouth and he died!

This is a real dead man!

Before the assassination, the fatal poison had been hidden in his mouth.

The emperor's grandson frowned and looked at the other women.

A familiar girl's voice sounded sharply:

"Prince, be careful!"
