The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 244: King Jin Was Frightened Stupid by Assassins

Last night Li Yuanfang monitored the Prince Jin's residence and did not find the assassin assassinating Xiao Lie.

At the same time, Li Xiu'er also sent her confidants to Xian Wang's mansion, and told Xiao Rui: "King Chu's situation is stable, so don't worry, I believe King Chu will wake up soon."

Li Xiu'er was also afraid that her confidant would be unreliable, so she used code words to convey the information.

Xiao Rui naturally understood what Li Xiuer said.

King Chu woke up soon, which meant that Xiao Yiheng had already woken up! From this point of view, Xiao Yiheng was indeed pretending to be poisoned.

At this time, Jia Xu said: "Your Highness, it is better to send Yuan Fang to ask for details."

Xiao Rui looked at Li Yuanfang and said apologetically, "You stayed at the Prince Jin's Mansion last night, and you haven't taken care of rest until now, thank you for your hard work."

Li Yuanfang said with a smile: "With His Highness's words, this subordinate doesn't feel tired at all now, besides, it's trivial to not sleep all night."

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "Go to the storeroom to get some ginseng. On the pretext of delivering tonics, meet Li Xiu'er and ask about the details."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Li Yuanfang went to do it immediately.

Half an hour later, Li Yuanfang came back, and after he explained in detail how Li Xiu'er was probing, Jia Xu paused his bearded hand, and exchanged glances with Guo Jia, both of them laughed.

"Feng Xiao, it seems we have an opponent." Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Mr. is right. I don't know what the people behind the scenes are doing." Guo Jia was also full of interest.

Xiao Rui understood what the two of them meant. It was impossible for Xiao Yiheng to pretend to be in a coma due to poisoning. After all, there were so many people taking care of him, it was impossible for him to remain motionless.

Because motionless is bastard.

Then, he was really comatose during the day, because he was drugged, and at night, he was awakened again. But the door of the room is intact, and there are forbidden troops outside, so there is only one possibility, there is a secret room or a secret passage in the room, which can lead to other places, and there are counselors behind Xiao Yiheng, who will arrange for him and wake him up every night for activities.

"The last time your majesty's fever persisted was due to an unknown poison in his body. Adding this time, it seems that the people behind Xiao Yiheng are also good at medicine." Xiao Rui said.

Jia Xu said: "I have investigated exactly how many counselors there are in Prince Chu's mansion. It seems that this person is hiding in the dark, that is, Xiao Yiheng's dark hands."

Guo Jiajian said: "I have a hunch that Xiao Yiheng will definitely arrange for an assassin to assassinate King Jin tonight! Since he wants to pretend to be unconscious, he will naturally not arrange for the people around him to avoid leaking secrets, so it is the strategist behind the scenes who will find him for him. Assassin. Coincidentally, we can also find out who the military master behind the scenes is."

"Indeed, Xiao Yiheng won't procrastinate for long, because he is worried that if Dongchang finds an assassin, this plan will be in vain? Tonight is the best time. Your Highness, what do you think we should do? Or follow the plan conceived yesterday Layout?" Jia Xu asked.

Xiao Rui thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "Okay! Let's do it according to yesterday's discussion. I will let Li Yuanfang, Wu Zhanfa, and Wei Guang cooperate to monitor, and we will definitely gain something. I also hope that my previous suspicions are unnecessary. , my respected father does not have the ability to see the sky."

"Whether Emperor Xia is unfathomable or not, I can take a peek tonight." Jia Xu confirmed.

During the day, Jinyiwei, Dongchang and the Patrol Battalion intensified their search efforts, because today is the last day of the deadline given by His Majesty, Zhang Jinfu and the three are also under pressure, but so far, they have no clues.

In the blink of an eye, it was night, and when it was approaching midnight, there was still no target. Zhang Jinfu has been sitting in the patrol camp for the past few days. He looked up at the moon covered by dark clouds. The impeachment of the officials in the morning is the next thing to do. It is troublesome to disappoint His Majesty if he fails to do things well. Although Zhang Jinfu is the Marquis of Zhongyong and the third of the Twelve Great Army Marquises of the Great Xia, the Patrol Battalion in his hands is the coveted meat of countless generals, and they all want to take a bite. These years, he has been walking on thin ice carefully, if not for His Majesty's trust, he would not have had the chance to persist for so long.

"The battle for the prince, the water is getting deeper and more muddy, and your majesty is so unpredictable, it's really not as enjoyable as going out to fight." Zhang Jinfu rubbed his brows, and simply broke the mentality of breaking the jar. What happened tomorrow morning, Let's talk tomorrow!

Compared with Zhang Jinfu, Hai Dafu and Zhang Yu are under a lot of pressure.

Assassins came to the capital, and Dongchang and Jin Yiwei, who were in charge of spying, had no clues, they just stuck their faces out and were slapped.

Time passed slowly, and after a while, dark clouds completely covered the moon.

Li Yuanfang, Wu Zhanfa and Wei Guang separated into three places to monitor the Jin Palace. The three of them dared not be careless, and kept an eye on the wind and grass. They knew Jia Xu and Guo Jia's plan very well. Since they calculated that there would be an assassin attacking the Prince Jin's mansion today, they would definitely come.

When the time comes to the end of the ugly hour, that is, at three o'clock in the morning, this is the coldest, loneliest, and most exhausting time of the day.

Li Yuanfang closed his eyes and rested his mind, but his ears were all over the place.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly, and said to himself, "Sure enough, it's here!"

The street was so quiet that even the insects and birds had gone to sleep, so the sudden sound of slight footsteps could be heard, and Li Yuanfang immediately judged the location and number of assassins.

ten people! And they are all masters!

Especially one of them, whose footsteps are extremely weak, and his lightness kungfu attainments are not inferior to Li Yuanfang's at all, so it can be judged that this person is also a peak fifth-rank warrior!

Li Yuanfang continued to hide in the dark, and as the footsteps approached, ten black-clothed assassins came outside the wall of Prince Jin's Mansion and climbed over the wall.

Li Yuanfang wrapped cloth under the boots, although this would hinder the speed, but it could better hide the sound of footsteps. After all, he was following the assassin, and the most important thing was to hide his whereabouts. If he was not careful, he might be noticed by that master.

Deliberately slowing down a few beats, Li Yuanfang climbed over the wall and entered Prince Jin's mansion, and then followed from a distance, watching the ten assassins easily avoid the imperial guards and guards of the palace, and approached the residence of King Jin.

Because the King of Chu was assassinated, His Majesty sent the Imperial Army to station in various Prince's Mansions, so there were forty guards from the Imperial Army outside the room where King Jin was resting, plus the guards recruited by King Jin himself, it can be said that it is impenetrable.

The ten assassins stopped.

They were not stupid, they didn't attack directly, because once they were surrounded by the forbidden army, even the peak warriors of the fifth rank would have to suffer hatred.

Although it is said that the fifth-rank level is a hundred people, and it can defeat a hundred ordinary strong soldiers, but the forbidden army is not ordinary soldiers, most of them are warriors, and they know the art of joint attack. Once surrounded by the forbidden army, let alone kill Jin King Escape is a miracle.

So the ten people used the most common method to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

An assassin stepped forward, accidentally revealed his whereabouts, and was immediately discovered by the imperial army. He was transferred away and ran away, and the imperial army sent out ten people to pursue.

Afterwards, two more assassins stepped forward to test, but the forbidden army had already guessed that the enemy was trying to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so the forbidden army did not dare to pursue, but guarded against the guards.

The assassin also knew that the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain could only be used once, so all eight assassins showed up and began to attack.

The eight assassins are all at the fourth-rank level, and their fighting power is tyrannical. The remaining 30 imperial guards are far from being opponents, but fortunately, King Jin has recruited five fourth-rank warriors, and they are also here at this time, so the two sides are evenly matched, and they are fighting fiercely .

Only the fifth-rank peak-level assassin remained, who hadn't shown up yet, and he had already shifted his position and began to approach King Jin's room slowly.

Jin Wang Xiao Lie had already been awakened. When he heard that the assassins were attacking, he frowned and did not dare to open the door. Luckily, he sat on a chair and waited quietly for the siege to end.

With the protection of the forbidden army and your own guards, are you still afraid of assassins?

This group of arrogant assassins just finished assassinating the king of Chu, and then came to assassinate themselves. It seems that the origin of this group of assassins is not simple. Could it be that they are assassins from other countries?

Remember that the Cao family of the Great Zhao Kingdom sent assassins to assassinate King Xian, and they almost succeeded!

Xiao Lie thought about it, and couldn't help trying to figure it out.

The battle between the assassins, the guards, and the guards became more and more intense, there were already casualties, and the eight assassins were already below, but the master assassin didn't care, and was still slowly approaching the house, hiding his traces.

They are dead soldiers and pawns, creating opportunities for master assassins.

And this opportunity finally came!

He suddenly seized an opportunity, found a gap, quickly rushed out from the darkness, and rushed towards the door with a sharp sword in his hand. He had been preparing for a long time, but at this moment he suddenly broke out, like a cheetah.

"Not good! Stop him!" The captain of the Forbidden Army panicked when he saw the expert assassin who appeared suddenly. They had already suppressed eight assassins, and they were able to encircle and suppress them, but they didn't expect that there were assassins in the dark!

The guards who were closer were trying to block with their knives, but their throats were cut with a sword.

This person's speed didn't slow down, he was already close to the door, and no one else could stop him, they could only watch him come to the door, stabbing open the door with a sword.

bang

The door opened, and the expression of Xiao Lie who was seated in the hall changed drastically. The black-clothed assassin who suddenly broke in came into view, so frightened that he forgot to move, a strong death crisis permeated his whole body.

"Death!" The expert assassin's speed did not slow down, he was about to rush forward and stab Xiao Lie to death!

There was only a distance of two feet between the two of them, and they would be in front of Xiao Lie in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuanfang secretly sighed, knowing that Xiao Lie was doomed.

Suddenly, Li Yuanfang felt a chill, and he hurriedly shifted his gaze, searching for the reason for his vigilance.

When his eyes moved to the house behind him, he suddenly found a person sitting on the roof. At this time, he drew his bow like a full moon. When the master assassin broke open the door, the tight bow suddenly shot out a sharp arrow.

bass

There was a sound of the bowstring cracking, and the sharp arrow had disappeared.

Li Yuanfang was shocked, when a master of archery was sitting on the house behind him, he didn't have time to think, and turned to look at Xiao Lie's side.

Xiao Lie's state of mind was filled with despair, when the assassin stabbed at him with a sword, Xiao Lie was too frightened to move.

And when the master assassin also thought that he would kill with one blow, he was so excited that he didn't expect the sharp arrow to shoot at all. And when the approaching sound of breaking wind approached, he realized that something was wrong. Unfortunately, just as he had the thought of turning his head, the arrow feather shot directly from his back, piercing his heart

boom

The arrow feather pierced through the assassin's body, the strength remained undiminished, and it was nailed to the ground next to Xiao Lie's feet.

The assassin's eyes were distracted, but his posture of attacking with the sword still did not stop. He charged straight at Xiao Lie, but unfortunately the direction was already off. His sharp arrow pierced the table next to Xiao Lie, and then he threw himself on On Xiao Lie.

Already no breath.

The assassin outside the door couldn't make any waves, and the people outside rushed in. When they saw the assassin pounce on Xiao Lie, they all trembled and were dumbfounded.

The arrow was so fierce that the imperial guards and guards outside the door didn't pay attention, thinking that the assassin had killed Xiao Lie.

But then, they saw the assassin fell to the ground, Xiao Lie was sitting there, panting violently.

Li Yuanfang was silent, all ten assassins were killed, the plan of His Highness and the two gentlemen could not be carried out, he looked back at the arrow master on the floor and recognized him.

It was Commander Yan Qing that His Majesty brought with him when he left the palace last time!

It turned out that His Majesty sent him to protect the First Prince Xiao Lie.

Li Yuanfang took a look at the stealth, exited the Jin Palace, called Shangwu Zhanfa and Wei Guang, and quickly returned to the Palace.

And woke up the sleeping Jia Xu, and told him the matter.

After hearing this, Jia Xu praised: "Your Majesty is indeed Your Majesty, the variable we are worried about has appeared. If this is the case, then don't disturb His Highness's rest, and we will talk about it when we wake up tomorrow. It seems that this best plan cannot be carried out. But since Your Majesty If you are scheming, you must guess that the King of Chu is pretending to be sick. This time, the King of Chu fouled, what will His Majesty do?"

Jia Xu was suddenly full of anticipation.
