Reborn group favorite: The prince and I are enemies

Li Yuan suddenly jumped on him, making Wu Ti startled for a moment, but because of his calm performance in the face of danger, Li Yuan was alert.

Seeing that Li Yuan seemed suspicious, Wu Ti pushed Li Yuan towards the assassin's sword without hesitation.

Just when Li Yuan was about to be stabbed, he spun around and avoided the sword attack.

Then Li Yuan didn't want to fight anymore. After a few flashbacks, he ran to the wall, jumped down, and opened the signal fireworks at the same time.

The man in black was about to give chase, but was stopped by Wu Ti: "Stop chasing him, be careful of being exposed."

The assassin stabbed Wu Ti with a backhand sword, hitting Wu Ti's shoulder. Looking at the gurgling blood, he warned Wu Ti in a cold voice: "My master is extremely disappointed in you! That's why I decided to do it myself."

"He asked me to tell you, open your eyes and see how he does it. If you disappoint him again, you will die without a burial place."

Wu Ti seemed to feel no pain and just smiled coldly.

Seeing his appearance, the assassin continued to sneer: "Don't forget, your life is in the hands of your master. If he lets you die, you can die. If he doesn't let you die, you have to live like a dog. "

With that said, the assassin pulled out a black pendant from Wu Ti's neck and sneered: "What are you so crazy about? You are just one of the chess pieces laid out by the master. Remember your identity."

After saying that, the assassin jumped up and disappeared on top of the wall.

Wu Ti covered the pendant around his neck and smiled miserably.

Yes, they are all chess pieces, each has its own use and performs its duties, but they don't know each other.

Some people, even now, may not know their identity.

They are all just pawns being manipulated.

Life and death are not up to anyone.

Everything is out of his control, just like he is now.

In the latrine, two dead bodies were dumped - these were the real targets of the assassination. Li Yuan happened to break into the latrine, so the assassin wanted to silence them.

Fortunately, although he did not have a serious job in the past, in order to conquer the gangsters with his fists, he practiced some boxing and kicking skills, especially the lightness kung fu used to escape, otherwise he would be doomed tonight.

At this time, the family banquet in the palace was in the middle of the process. Changsun Tao asked Lu Mingyong to protect Emperor Yuanwu and lead the guards in the direction of the signal.

But before they got there, they met Li Yuan who was in a panic.

He pointed in the direction of the Ministry of Rites and said incoherently: "The Ministry of Rites, assassin, dead man, Liu Xingyuan, spy."

After Changsun Tao heard this information, he ordered people to take good care of Li Yuan, and he rushed to the Ministry of Rites.

But Wu Ti had left the building empty, leaving only the two corpses in the latrine and the blood staining the floor.

Changsun Tao took a quick look and roughly guessed what happened just now.

At this moment, a subordinate came down to report the news: "Your Majesty, the deceased are two scribes."

Changsun Tao asked: "What are they responsible for?"

The subordinate reported back: "It's not an important position. One is responsible for managing the files of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is responsible for studying the regulations."

Changsun Tao frowned and thought for a long time. He couldn't remember this happening in his previous life. He ordered everyone: "Send the order immediately and ask all ministers to confirm the status of the personnel in each department immediately."

The subordinate quickly went to convey the order. Chang Sun Tao surveyed the scene for a few times and confirmed that the assassin had already escaped.

But the people he deployed had not sent any signals until now, which made him a little confused - how did the assassin avoid his dense network of defenses?

Changsun Tao thought of tunnels, but the tunnels in the palace were like spider webs. There was only one main secret passage leading to the outside of the palace, but only the monarchs of the past dynasties had the right to know about this secret passage.

He only knows some secret passages like entrances and exits.

Thinking of this, Changsun Tao brought a group of his own people in through the secret passage of the Ministry of Rites.

Everyone searched for it for a long time with torches, and finally found Hui Hui in Changsun Tao's arms. It quickly ran out, but was almost injured by a hidden weapon. It was so angry that its hair exploded, and it ran out again at an even faster speed. .

Suddenly, Hui Hui screamed.

Chang Sun Tao immediately drew his sword and rushed towards the place where Hui Hui made the sound, but saw that Hui Hui had his tail injured and was pitifully licking the bleeding wound.

When Chang Sun Tao picked it up, he stabbed it with his backhand. The man in black who launched a sneak attack on him died under his sword.

Changsun Tao led his subordinates to search in the tunnel again, but when Li's subordinates' tunnel came to the end, the assassin was nowhere to be seen again.

He ordered Qilin Guards and Jinwu Guards to step up patrols, and then returned to the banquet hall.

Emperor Yuanwu looked a little solemn when he saw Chang Sun Tao returning. After taking a few more sips of wine, he pretended to be drunk, knocked over the cup, and fell asleep leaning on the table.

When everyone saw the fireworks, they knew something was wrong. Now that His Majesty was drunk, they borrowed donkeys to go downhill and made excuses to say goodbye.

The banquet dispersed. Changsun Tao came to Lu Mingyong and said, "Your Majesty, I leave it to you. Prince Fu is drunk. I will send him back first."

Lu Mingyong nodded, pulled Princess Zhenli aside and said, "Azhi, let's go back later."

Princess Zhenli saw Lu Mingyong's serious face, and she agreed with a smile.

With the experience of his previous life, Changsun Tao was extremely careful when escorting everyone back. It was not until he and the eldest princess sent Old Prince Fu back to the mansion that he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Zhaohua." On the way to escort the eldest princess back, the eldest princess asked him, "What happened?"

The assassination of a minor official in the Ministry of Rites would not cause any waves, but the assassin hiding in the palace tunnel would cause an uproar.

Before the matter was clear, Changsun Tao chose to conceal it for the time being. After hearing this, he said: "I have no clue yet."

The eldest princess said earnestly and sincerely: "You are going to be a father. Don't take everything on yourself. It's not like there is no one available in Daqin. Please spend more time with the princess when you have time. Women who are about to give birth are very fragile."

Changsun Tao and this sister have never been very close, firstly because they are so different in age, and secondly because the eldest princess married young, and the two siblings have never spoken like this before.

Hearing this, he glanced at the eldest princess in surprise, and said with difficulty: "I will do it, thank you sister."

The call "Ajie" made the eldest princess, a cold person, smile tenderly. She shook her head and chuckled: "There are so many brothers and sisters, but no one has ever called me Ajie."

Changsun Tao didn't say anything. Except in front of Lu Mingyu, he always cherished words like gold no matter who he was dealing with.

Seeing the eldest princess's palace getting closer and closer, the eldest princess spoke again, she said: "You should pay more attention to King Shen and King Wu. Although one of them is dead and the other is in prison, it does not mean that they are safe. of."

Changsun Tao nodded slightly and responded: "Okay."
