Chapter 69 The Humble Administrator's Garden

Li Chengyu was surprised when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Wu Huang and the two emperor uncles were also ambushed and killed? What happened to them?"

King Ning shook his head and sighed: "All the vassal kings who came to Beijing were ambushed and killed this time, but the fifth brother and the two emperor uncles were not seriously injured, but all the entourage were also killed in battle. The shock and fright were serious, and now they are recuperating behind closed doors in the garden."

Li Chengyu was stunned, and said to himself: "It turned out that the attack was aimed at all the vassal kings who entered the capital. No wonder I didn't find such a life-and-death enmity in the original body's memory anyway."

At this time, I heard King Ning say: "I came here mainly because I was sent by my mother to ask you to come to the palace in three days to participate in the family banquet. Well, since you are safe and sound, I am relieved. You have had a hard journey. Take a good rest, I still have to send a message to Brother Wu and the two uncles."

Saying goodbye, he left.

Li Chengyu watched his leaving back, but didn't notice anything wrong, so he went back to his residence and continued to do exercises to warm Feijian.

At night, a waiter came to pass the word that Changping Wang Li Chengyuan hosted a banquet in Lingyun Pavilion and invited him to the banquet.

The princes who entered Beijing this time were all placed in the Humble Administrator's Garden. The Lingyun Pavilion in the west of the garden was the residence of the third prince Li Chengyuan, and the Bixia Pavilion where Li Chengyu lived was in the east of the garden. The two coincided with each other.

When Li Chengyu brought Cao Feng and two maids, Chun and Xia, to the banquet, there were already four people sitting at the main table. Seeing him coming, a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and a resolute temperament called out from the main seat : "Thirteenth brother, you are here, the big guys are waiting for you."

The memory in Li Chengyu's heart was churning, and he bowed and saluted immediately: "I have seen Brother Sanhuang."

Then he bowed to the two old men on his left and right hands and a middle-aged man with a weak temperament on the bottom: "I have seen the seventh emperor uncle, the eighteenth emperor uncle, and the fifth emperor brother."

Everyone nodded in return, and Li Chengyu sat down. After everyone had a drink, the third prince said: "Everyone here was ambushed and killed on the way to Beijing. This matter is quite strange. I invite you here today to gather everyone together. Let’s think about this matter carefully.”

As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly fell silent.

Li Chengyu glanced at the crowd, seeing the pale faces of the two uncles and the fifth prince, who seemed to be frightened, so he also pretended to be frightened and did not speak.

When the third prince saw this, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but quickly disappeared, and he said to himself: "This time, in the attack, a heavy weapon appeared on my side. A few days ago, I asked the Dingwu Army to check the ordnance by itself." , but there is no loss or omission, the meaning of this, everyone carefully think about it."

Several vassal kings at the scene couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this. The Dingwu Army is an elite frontier army, and it is also the only army with eight oxen besides the three defenders of Baiyujing. The commander of the Wu army, from the lineage of Marquis Wu Xiang, naturally would not do anything to his own people, so at this time, it seemed that clues gradually surfaced.

Uncle Li Hongwu of the Eighteenth Emperor has always had a violent temper. Now that he thinks that his family has escaped death and survived, how could he hold back? military."

The fifth prince, Li Chengqi, was shocked, and he quickly pulled Li Hongwu and said, "Uncle Huang, be careful with your words."

However, he was pulled away by Li Hongwu. He opened the chatter box and was about to make a high-level discussion, but he saw that the Seventh Emperor Li Hongsi seemed to have figured out something, and suddenly realized: "I said, we were attacked so big. Why didn't the emperor send anyone over to summon him, and even the crown prince didn't show up to greet him, could it be that something happened in the imperial city!"

Speaking of this, everyone present couldn't help but think in that direction, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was in line, and they couldn't help but all changed their faces. If it was really what they thought, then wouldn't it be a sheep at the tiger's mouth at this time.

The two uncles and the fifth prince couldn't help sweating on their foreheads, and even the calm third prince showed a look of fear. Li Chengyu has his own martial arts. If it's just a coup in the palace, he is still sure that he can break out of the tight encirclement He was escaping, so he was not very afraid, but at this time he had to maintain his original personality, so he also "changed" his expression, seemingly worried.

At this time, the third prince took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "We are all on the same boat now, if we want to survive, we must unite. I know you are more or less in Beijing. There are arrangements and power in it, don't hide it at this time, try to mobilize it as much as possible, and check whether it is really what we think."

The rest of the vassal kings were panicked at this time, they would refuse, and immediately agreed, Li Chengyu naturally followed Daliu.

Everyone who was eating this feast was in a state of confusion, and quickly dispersed without using their strength to mention it.

Li Chengyu returned to Biyun Pavilion, silently integrated and analyzed the information collected in the past few days, and sighed secretly: "The original body is too salty, but there is not even a trace of strength in this capital, so that it has become a Open your eyes and go blind, but fortunately I have the power to protect myself now, if the situation is critical, I will kill it."

After making up his mind, he continued to work hard to cultivate Feijian.

The next day, when the sky just dawned, a large group of flying tiger soldiers rushed in, which immediately alarmed the vassal kings who had become frightened. The third prince asked with a gloomy expression, "What is your intention for trespassing on the Humble Administrator's Garden?"

The leader of the team seemed to be trying to suppress his anger. His eyes were reddish and he bowed to the vassals, and replied: "My lords, forgive me, last night I was the leader of the Flying Tiger Army, General Shangzhuhou Luqiu Xin The mansion was assassinated, the queen was furious and ordered me to wait for the whole city of Dasuo, and arrest the assassin as soon as possible!"

"What!" All the vassal kings were shocked, and they looked at each other, all shocked by the news, the third prince asked, "Is Shangzhu Hou safe?"

The team member replied in a deep voice: "The Marquis was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Yesterday the Queen sent the imperial doctor to treat him overnight, but he still hasn't woken up yet."

Speaking of this, he apologized to everyone, and then led the soldiers to continue searching the Humble Administrator's Garden. Seeing that this was a serious matter, the vassal kings stopped interfering and obstructing them, and returned to their residences.

Li Chengyu recalled the suppressed anger of the soldiers, and couldn't help but thought to himself: "This Shangzhuhou Lu Qiuxin seems to be quite prestigious and deeply loved among the Flying Tiger Army. The news of his assassination obviously made the Flying Tiger Army There is a simmering anger from top to bottom.”

Then he thought again: "Lu Qiuxin has such prestige in the Flying Tiger Army. At this time, he was seriously injured and unable to take charge of the situation. This elite garrison in the White Jade Capital fell into a leaderless situation, and its combat power was bound to be greatly reduced. Not only does it affect the defense of the capital, but it also weakens the power of the royal family."

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my heart, and I speculated: "All the signs indicate that there is a mysterious force in the dark that is weaving a big net, and it is close to completion. There may be major changes in Baiyu Jingzhong in the near future, and it is very likely that A coup that overthrew the imperial power of the Great Xia Kingdom."
