Chapter 23: Assassinated

After Wen Huaizhou came back to his senses, the banquet had already begun.

Naturally, he still couldn't forget the injuries on Kutong's body, and he was even thinking about them all the time. At this moment, the ministers happened to meet, and he saw the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital.

They were sitting at the same table, looking at him like this, they found Dr. Xu, Xu came with him specially, today is the emperor's birthday, and as a veteran of the three dynasties, he has to come here to celebrate the emperor's birthday .At this moment, I ran into those close friends from the Tai Hospital, and they were having a good conversation.

Wen Huaizhou had no choice but to gather his thoughts, thinking that after the banquet was over, it would be okay to ask them to show Kutong again.

Some elegant maidservants brought meals, and now, the imperial garden is not only filled with the fragrance of flowers, but also the fragrance of vegetables and the body fragrance of the maidservants, making everyone happy physically and mentally.After a while, the master of the banquet, Ninety-Five Supreme, came slowly with the harem concubines.

All of a sudden, the officials knelt down and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

After the emperor took his seat, he nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Everyone loves you!"

On the emperor's left, sitting is the empress who is the mother of the world. She is kind, dignified and at ease.Sitting on the right is Concubine Liu Gui, who is said to be the all-powerful concubine Liu Gui.

The officials talked with great relish, and made a toast and speech to the Holy Majesty.

The emperor is already in the age of destiny, but he doesn't look old, and he doesn't feel dizzy after drinking a few glasses of wine, but his face is more rosy and more energetic.When the ceremony of the monarch and ministers was finished, the emperor suddenly stood up.

"Today, all my lovers gathered here to celebrate my birthday. I am very pleased. But this day, besides my birthday, is also a big day to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. It belongs to all the lovers and the common people Days. A country cannot be without a king, nor can it be without people. My country and mountains are all guarded by you! I hope that all the people have no worries about food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment! May the country be safe and prosperous, and the weather will be smooth!"

The ministers knelt down and hurriedly shouted: "May my Great Yongchang and Guotai be safe! The weather will be smooth!"

It was too late to speak, and then suddenly there was a strange voice, and the man shouted: "The dog emperor! Take your life!"

I saw five assassins all in black attacking from all directions, the leader was holding a sharp sword, and was about to stab the Holy Majesty's throat!

But now people are on their backs, no one cares about this sudden change, only Wen Huaizhou among the turbulent crowd noticed and shouted: "Protect the emperor! There are assassins!"

The guards seemed to have noticed the change here, and rushed over to help the emperor and concubines on the right seat, while the ministers below ran away with their heads in their hands. Those who were interested were quite shocked and evacuated the people, but those who were not very capable, no He ran outside the palace, but hid in a corner and couldn't come out.

Wen Huaizhou hated that iron cannot be made into steel, and Wen Zhengting was not afraid at all, and commanded loudly: "Huaizhou! Huailin! Hurry up and protect the Holy Majesty!"

Wen Huaizhou nodded quickly.Sure enough, although the emperor was so tightly guarded by the guards that even the assassins couldn't get close to him, these people each had high martial arts skills, and the injured guards were bleeding profusely.

Wen Huaizhou quickly drew out his saber, straightened up and stabbed at the assassin on the far right, and then pulled out after reaching his waist. The assassin's eyes widened, but he still fell down.

The others soon noticed Wen Huaizhou's appearance, and the three of them surrounded Wen Huaizhou and stabbed at him one after another.It's a pity that Wen Huaizhou jumped up, kicked one person in the face with a roundabout, and stabbed another assassin with his free right hand.

Both of them fell to the ground, and one of them pulled out twice, also dead.The other one who was kicked by Wen Huaizhou was about to get up, but was stabbed by Wen Huaizhou with a sword first.

Another assassin wanted to sneak up on Wen Huaizhou behind him, but he didn't want Wen Huaizhou to have already found out.He dodged the assassin's attack sideways. This man was strong and flexible. He fought Wen Huaizhou for several rounds without hurting each other. Wen Huaizhou simply put down his sword, turned over again, and jumped behind him. , and then quickly pinched his right hand and twisted it off for him.

The strong man yelled, both in pain and disobedience, he bent over, clenched a fist with his good left hand, and hit Wen Huaizhou's abdomen.Wen Huaizhou obviously didn't expect it, this person used [-]% of his strength, and Wen Huaizhou was indeed injured and coughed up blood.

But this instead aroused Wen Huaizhou's anger, his blood surged out with a strong aura, which obviously made this fellow Qianyuan start to panic.Taking advantage of the gap between the strong man's daze, he picked up the sword thrown on the ground, and stabbed fiercely.

The sharp sword finally penetrated into his abdomen, but Wen Huaizhou didn't think it was enough, so he pierced through him!

When Wen Huaizhou drew his sword and left, the man fell down. His huge body fell to the ground with a "boom", and the ground trembled.

The leading assassin was still dealing with the emperor's guards, but now seeing his brothers fall one by one, he yelled savagely in anger.

Naturally, Wen Huaizhou guessed that these strong men were not from the Central Plains. They were tall and mighty, even half a head taller than Wen Huaizhou himself. Most of them are blue, and they must be those Turkic people who have planned for a long time!

He looked down and saw that the princes, grandsons and nobles had all been evacuated. Wen Zhengting went to check if there was an ambush. The guards and elite soldiers were waiting in full force. One side escorted the emperor and others to leave, and the other side followed Wen Huaizhou to deal with the assassin.

Seeing that the Holy Majesty had finally left, Wen Huaizhou breathed a sigh of relief.But the assassin was furious, the brothers died again, and the "dog emperor" left, he couldn't do justice for the sky today, but he wanted to seek justice for his brothers!

He yelled, and rushed towards Wen Huaizhou. Before Wen Huaizhou could react, he dodged quickly, but his right arm was still scratched.The soldiers took out their long halberds and pointed at the assassin, but the rank of this assassin was not comparable to those just now, so he flew up while hanging himself, Wen Huaizhou was afraid that he would try to escape, so he asked the archer to shoot arrows.

This man was shot by several crossbows while he was in the air. No matter how advanced his martial arts were, if his legs were stabbed, he would have to fall obediently.

Wen Huaizhou first came to the open space where he fell, and the guards followed one after another. Several guards suggested that it is better to make up a few more knives, so as to avoid future troubles.

Wen Huaizhou clutched his bloody right arm, shook his head heavily and said, "No, keep him for interrogation. Take off his limbs and take him to the prison."

It was only then that the guards came to their senses, and felt that Mr. Wen was really a little over the top.Wen Huaizhou thought that the adults must have entered the study of the Holy Majesty, so he turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly the Turkic man on the ground yelled in broken Chinese: "Wen Huaizhou! You might as well kill me! What is the difference between your behavior and those despicable villains!"

Wen Huaizhou was stunned for a moment, apparently he did not expect this Turkic man to know his name.He simply turned around, looked down at this man, and took off his mask.

This face is extremely rough, with thick hair and a beard.He glared at Wen Huaizhou in front of him, and spat at him, "Wen Huaizhou, you have the ability to kill me! Kill me!"

Wen Huaizhou stared at him indifferently, and asked extremely calmly, "How do you know my name?"

Gobbard was stunned for a moment, but laughed even more wildly: "I have my own way..."

Wen Huaizhou only felt that this person was wasting his time, probably because he had planned it for a long time and knew something about the enemy camp, but Wen Huaizhou always felt something was wrong, so he just raised his foot and kicked him in the abdomen, then turned and left go.

Gobbard was still yelling loudly: "As expected of the famous Mr. Wen in the capital, hahahaha..."

Wen Huaizhou didn't care about his crazy words, and flew away with a little kung fu, so he didn't hear what he said later.

"No wonder your wife even smells so sweet, hahahahaha..."

All the guards looked at each other, not understanding what crazy words this man was talking about, but since he offended the honorable Princess Chenyue, he must be punished.The few people didn't hesitate any longer, they just stabbed Gobbard's limbs...

Wen Huaizhou jumped over a few eaves and came to the study of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.It was very quiet here for a while, and the maidservants who came and went had expressions of fear.

Wen Huaizhou quietly opened the door and went in.Sure enough, seeing the officials kneeling on the ground with some messy documents, the Holy One must have lost his temper.

He stepped forward neither humble nor humble, bypassing the kneeling ministers.The emperor who sat on the main seat was originally sullen, but now he felt relieved when he saw Wen Huaizhou.

"The minister has wiped out the assassins, leaving one person as a hostage, which will be reviewed by the Holy Majesty at a certain date."

Hearing this, the emperor's face really got better, and he said with some sarcasm: "Huaizhou can help me solve my problems at a young age, and I don't need to say a few words to know what I'm thinking... see Look at you! One by one, you are not even as good as a person who has just passed the weak crown!"

Several highly respected ministers said one after another: "Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down..."

The emperor snorted disdainfully, got up and paced back and forth a few times, most of his anger subsided, and he said with a sullen face, "Get up."

After everyone got up, the emperor said directly: "This matter must be strictly investigated! But I still can't figure it out, the Wen family and his son have been wronged several times, how can there be mistakes..."

Wen Zhengting, Wen Huaiting and Wen Huaizhou exchanged glances, all of them were earthy, either frowning or sighing, when Wen Huaizhou was about to kneel down to plead guilty to the Holy One, the Holy One waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you guys Well, I believe you, but there must be something hidden in it."

At this time, a guard suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, when the brothers went to search the scene just now, they found several brothers fainted at the door of the Xihua Gate of Lihua Palace."

After the ministers heard it, they had different opinions, and they guessed that the Japanese pirates must have come in from there.But the strange thing is that the walls in the palace are very high, there are guards inside and outside, and there will be guards patrolling every quarter of an hour, and there will be almost no mistakes...

Unless it's an inner ghost.

Now all the ministers are showing embarrassment. It would be fine if they are Turkic people with skills, but if there is an inner ghost, it will be completely different.Naturally, this inner ghost must be someone present, otherwise, he absolutely has no right to approach the gate of one party.But this pointed the finger at General Wen, who is in charge of this area...

The members of the Wen family were even more embarrassed, what's more, they suddenly discovered that Wen Huailin was not here!

Wen Zhengting's expression was particularly embarrassing... He really couldn't imagine that his son would be an enemy spy... But he still kept calm, after all, this was just a guess.

The Holy Majesty obviously thought of this too, except for frowning, he didn't express his opinion.

This may be just a coincidence, after all, Wen Huailin is not the only one who is absent now, there are many other ministers who have gone to hide somewhere.

With this thrilling farce, the emperor ordered all the gates of Lihua Palace to be sealed off, strictly prohibiting everyone from entering or leaving at will, including the ministers and their families who came today.In name, these people are allowed to "lodge" in the palace for a few days, but in fact they are under house arrest.

Although this method is not wise, it is to find out the spy, and it is also convenient for the emperor to discuss serious matters with the officials.

Wen Huaizhou was half happy and half worried. I don't know when the matter of Kutong will be resolved.
