The hunting ground was almost engulfed by the thick night, and Qi Yanxing was riding a horse alone on the forest glade.During the field hunting, Beijiang's personal guards seemed to put hidden arrows around him to make him stumble, driving him here, the intention was self-evident.

There was a sudden noise in the silent forest, and Yi Qien riding a horse appeared from the forest, and the guards of Beijiang then surrounded Qi Yanxing inside.

Sitting high on horseback, Yi Qien held a heavy knife, smiled like a hungry wolf that had seen its prey, and said in a jerky girth, "My father told you about you, Yubei's watchdog." Shan pointed to the horse under him, and said with a smile, "Your elder brother and nephew were dragged to death on the gravel beach in Gobi by this horse."

He was provoking, he wanted to see this mad dog in Yijing howling in pain.

But he was disappointed.

Qi Yanxing was still calm, he pulled out his saber from his waist, and said, "Son, didn't that old dog of your father tell you that the sword is used in confrontation, not the mouth."

It's not that he doesn't hate, but he hates it all the time.

Those memories have never been buried deeply, and as time goes by, they become clearer and clearer. He lives in the past and today, without a future.Memories are like piercing blades, Qi Yanxing refuses to let go, he wants to memorize them like a cramp, torturing himself day after day.

Yi Qien's face gradually became tense, he had already noticed how tricky the enemy in front of him was, and his original intention to play tricks also faded away. He tightened his hand holding the knife, and suddenly made a gesture.

The Northern Xinjiang guards immediately set up their bows and arrows, aiming at Qi Yanxing in the center.

"I advise you not to shoot arrows."

An understatement of banter came from behind, Yi Qien's scalp exploded, and when he turned around, his pupils dilated.In the darkness not far from the forest, a sharp arrow was aiming at him.

But in the blink of an eye, Yi Qien broke out in cold sweat all over his body.

You Jin also brought the forbidden army to gather from afar, the situation was completely reversed, the forbidden army surrounded the people in Beijiang completely.

Lu Yunchuan's laughter melted into the wind, and he said coldly, "Who gave you the courage to act wildly in Daliang territory?"

Yi Qien shuddered, he fixedly looked at Lu Yunchuan's blurred silhouette in the darkness, raised his hand and waved it, the Northern Xinjiang guards looked at each other, and put down the arrow.

So the arrow that was pointing at Yi Qien from afar was also put away, and Lu Yunchuan rushed forward, his brown eyes were cold, and he said with a sneer: "I thought you would be smarter, knowing how to restrain yourself in other people's territory, but I overestimated you."

That smile made Yi Qien's hair stand on end, and he said in a deep voice, "I am a visiting guest."

"Then let's learn how the Qi family treats guests." Qi Yanxing sneered, pointing the knife in his hand at him from a distance, with a cold look on his face, and paused every word: "Now, get off the horse, guest."

This field hunt had nothing to do with Ming Wanzhao, he was sent into the tent like an exquisite decoration, only Bai Tan was left by his side to wait on him, after lighting the lamp, Ye Zi'an acted as the imperial physician temporarily, and came into the tent to ask for pulse.

Ming Wanzhao sat in front of the small table, without raising his eyes, he just stretched out his hand and said, "Come back now."

Ye Zi'an was close to him, and replied in a low voice: "No, Commander Lu, the governor of Qi, has not returned, and there is still that Chinu prince."

After a moment of silence in the tent, Ye Zi'an heard Ming Wanzhao hum like he was absent-minded.

This is not unexpected.

It would be really weird if they were friendly, Lu Yunchuan only came back once in the afternoon with two hares, roasted them and fed them to the emperor, and rode Qianlixue out aggressively.

Ming Wanzhao's other hand hidden in the wide-sleeved robe lightly touched the engraving on the scabbard, and Zhanyue was hidden in his sleeve.

Ye Zi'an asked for his pulse and stayed here for now. He saw that Ming Wanzhao was different today. He looked careless, but somewhat gloomy, like the dull and quiet black clouds covering the sun before the storm.

He hesitated for a while and asked, "Your Majesty, are you...waiting for Commander Lu?"

"No." Ming Wanzhao denied, "It's not waiting for him."

Ye Zi'an heard something else from these words, the little emperor was not waiting for Lu Yunchuan, but rather... looking for someone, so he trembled in fear

shock.

Ming Wanzhao didn't speak any more, he almost didn't need to think deeply, he guessed that Lu Yunchuan and Yi Qien would definitely not live in peace.

He didn't even think Yi Qien would honestly do nothing.

Let's see who gets the last laugh.

The voice of the guards suddenly sounded outside the tent: "Stop!"

The visitor said with a smile: "The humble post belongs to the Imperial Guard Army, and I was ordered by Commander Lu to present something to His Majesty."

Before the sound fell, the saber was out of its sheath, and in an instant it slashed across the throats of the imperial guards in front of the door, killing him with one saber. The other man was about to draw out his saber and shouted, but he kicked his wrist and returned the saber. In the sheath, the sharp blade pierced the throat.

Ming Wanzhao has excellent hearing ability, and he heard something wrong, at the same time the person outside had lifted the curtain and came in.

Bai Tan was startled, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty!"

There was a startled sound, and Ming Wanzhao, who was sitting still, had already unsheathed the short blade in his sleeve, and his body was as light as a swallow, passing over the table, the sharp blades collided, and the moment when the two were in a stalemate, Ming Wanzhao saw clearly the other side.

It's the uniform of the Imperial Army.

The man was also startled, he probably didn't expect the silly emperor to make such a quick move, and subconsciously wanted to retreat.

How could Ming Wanzhao allow him to retreat, since the attack was inevitable, he immediately swept his leg to attack his lower body, the assassin was flustered and full of shock, he was tripped to the ground with a muffled sound.

Before he could speak, Ming Wanzhao leaned over and covered his mouth tightly, and the extremely sharp short blade was also lowered to the assassin's throat. Under the astonished and panicked eyes of the man, the young emperor smiled gently.

"I've got you."

The lamps were lit in the tent, reflecting the figures in the tent.When Lu Yunchuan came back, he saw that there was no one outside the tent, so he paused for a while, there should be a team of imperial guards guarding in front of the tent of the Son of Heaven, how could there be no one there?He even smelled a slight smell of blood around him.

Lu Yunchuan couldn't say it well, he had already stepped into the door, and saw the three people in the tent turned their heads in unison, and there was a dead body in the imperial robes on the ground.

The Son of Heaven was taken aback for a moment, then the corners of his lips curled up, his phoenix eyes parted into a sly smile, and he said, "It's just in time."

Seeing this smile, Mr. Lu choked up the question on his lips, feeling that he had bad intentions.

Immediately, Bai Tan's frightened and feminine scream was heard: "There is an assassin __!"

Lu Yunchuan: "..."

What a familiar scene.

Well a scored twice.

The screaming alarmed the patrolling guards, and it was the Xingchi who came. Since Zuo Huaixu was demoted, he has become much more honest. He was afraid that the bastard's second son would catch him. Unexpectedly, something went wrong today!

When he saw the dead body in the tent, Xing Chi's heart was half cold, and when he saw Lu Yunchuan with a cold face, the rest was also cold.

The emperor brought hundreds of officials to hunt, and the cabinet was naturally among them. Ming Wanzhao's assassination should be reported to the cabinet. When the three of Su Jinhuai hurried to arrive, Ming Wanzhao had been moved to another tent, the emperor's tent. All that was left was a mess.

Three corpses were placed side by side, one assassin and two guards.Qi Yanxing and Lu Yunchuan were both in the tent, while Xing Chi knelt and didn't dare to get up, cold sweat was streaming down his neck.

Lu Zuoxian's face turned cold, still angry, and he glanced at the criminal ruler kneeling on the ground, then stared at Qi Yanxing and reprimanded: "Governor Qi, what's going on? Neither the Zhechong Mansion's soldiers nor the Imperial Army can defend one of them." Hunting ground?! Assassins have entered His Majesty's tent! Now that the prince of the Chinu tribe is still in Beijing, he has lost the face of Emperor Liang!"

After some heart-rending reprimands, the stove in the tent was clearly turned off, and the official robe of the criminal ruler was almost wet with cold sweat.

Qi Yanxing never gave Lu Zuoxian a good look, and at this moment he just said with a cold face: "The assassin is wearing the uniform of the imperial army, with a waist badge, and he belongs to the right mansion of the Jinwu Army. He died from the poison, and there is nothing left to ask."

As the commander of the Jinwu Army, Xing Chi knelt on the ground and dared not say a word, his palms were covered with cold sweat.

He is different from Zuo Huaishu, at least Zuo Huaishu has an older brother in the Ministry of Industry, and even Lu's backing.Although his Xingrui came from the main room, but now Xing Ye alone has the final say in the Xing family, he really has nowhere to turn for help.

Sure enough, Xing Ye didn't care about the younger brother's life or death, and said in a business-like tone: "A person who enters the Forbidden Army must have a place of origin. If you follow the investigation, you can always find some clues. This person has the audacity to assassinate His Majesty openly. We must not fool him."

After saying that, he lowered his eyes to look at the punishment ruler, "The Jinwu army has made such a big mistake, and you, the commander, cannot escape the blame."

Beads of cold sweat were all over Xing Chi's forehead, rolling down his cheeks, and already wet his neckline. He knocked his head on the ground and said, "I know my mistake."

"Your Majesty Xing is right." Lu Zuoxian said, and the topic changed again, "But the forbidden army is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Qi, and the governor of Qi should also have some oversights.

Over. "

Xing Ye frowned, and said, "If that's the case, then we'll deal with it together. Your Majesty's assassination is no small matter. It happened once in the winter solstice a year ago, and it's happening again now. We must investigate this matter."

"The most urgent thing is to escort His Majesty back to the palace first." Qi Yanxing's face was not very good-looking, "The imperial army should also step up their investigation to find out where the assassin came from."

"The field hunting is not over yet. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the emperor to return to the palace at this time." Lu Zuoxian said, "But Governor Qi is right. The forbidden army is walking in the palace. Now

There is no guarantee that there will be no second assassin, so it is better to hand in the waist card first and check it thoroughly. "

Lu Yunchuan's eyes darkened. The situation in Yijing is such that the emperor has no power in his hands, so the imperial power is fragmented and scattered. This old bastard wants to cut down the power of the imperial army!

Under the mouth full of loyal words, it is the wolf's ambition that is clearly evident!

Why didn't Qi Yanxing know this obvious conspiracy, he pulled the corners of his lips with a smirk, and said: "Of course we need to investigate, the Jinwu Army will hand it over to the cabinet for investigation, and the rest of the military government is up to me." Come and check it yourself, as for handing over the sign, it is absolutely impossible!"

Like a virtuous and loyal minister, Lu Zuoxian reprimanded sharply: "Today is the Jinwu Army, and tomorrow it may be the Imperial Guard Army! The Imperial Army is turbulent like a rolling blade and a shield. How can you entrust your Majesty's safety to the Imperial Army?!"

"So," Qi Yanxing's eyes became colder, like a mad dog baring its fangs, "Is it true that Lu Ge's hand is going to reach into the imperial army?"

That was the look of the beast before predation.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Xing Ye interjected at the right time and said: "The forbidden army is His Majesty's own soldiers, and even if it is necessary to deal with it, His Majesty should speak up. Lord Lu, Yuezu will do it for you."

It is. ”

If the Lu family really took away the imperial army, the situation in Yijing would be turned upside down in an instant, and Xing Ye was always in a delicate position to maintain the balance.

"This matter will be discussed after His Majesty returns to the palace." Lu Zuoxian knew very well that Qi Yanxing could not be moved by just one assassin, so he squinted for a moment, and suddenly glanced at Lu Yunchuan inexplicably, "It's a coincidence that Commander Lu came back .”

Lu Yunchuan looked back without avoiding.

So both of them saw the coldness and probing in each other's eyes, and Lu Yunchuan never took the initiative to retreat in a confrontation, he corrected: "Old Lu Ge, it should be timely."

"This is thanks to Commander Lu." Xing Ye said, "The Commander of the Jinwu Army and the Captain of the Right Mansion will hand in the sign for investigation, and wait for His Majesty to return to the palace for retrial. Right now, a banquet has been set up outside, and Prince Chinu is still here, so it's not good. Lost the big beam face."

He paused, and then said, "What does Mr. Su think?"

Su Jinhuai, who hadn't spoken for a while, said at this moment: "Let's go to the banquet."

Lu Yunchuan and Qi Yanxing were ordered to pick up His Majesty for the banquet. They walked side by side. Qi Yanxing said in a low voice, "Su Jiyuan didn't talk much today." "I don't know what kind of medicine he has hidden in his gourd." Lu Yunchuan said, and then asked: "Forbidden Army How could there be an assassin in the middle?"

Qi Yanxing raised his eyes to look at the vast darkness, and said: "The imperial army is not an indestructible iron barrel. My military power in Yijing is not even as good as that of Yue Tinggu, let alone Xingchi Zuo Huaixu and others. As for who is the assassin. ..”

He thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "It's hard to say."

Lu Yunchuan knew that these words were not perfunctory, the game of chess in Yijing was too chaotic, since the assassination of the court lady He Qing, Lu Yunchuan had been investigating, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea.The court lady He Qing has been in the palace for four years. She is diligent and smart. She was transferred to serve the imperial court for a while. It is found out that she is also a woman from a good family.

There was literally no trace of this premeditated assassination.

"The imperial army should investigate carefully." Lu Yunchuan narrowed his eyes slightly dangerously, Jiang Zhou had recently been ordered to leave Beijing to investigate the assassin He Qing.

He didn't believe that an ordinary court lady assassinated the emperor for no reason. Now that she did it, she could always find the source.

Qi Yanxing nodded, "Your Majesty was stable in the first two years of his enthronement, and the assassination also started in the past two years. The palace checked several times, but there was no result."

Speaking of this, he was also a bit annoyed.

The rich night was reflected in Lu Yunchuan's brown eyes, and the fine light was extremely cold. He said softly, "I can always catch him."

The author has something to say

I finally came back. I finished the exam at the end of October, but I am still adapting to the new unit. The work intensity of the Changbai shift is quite heavy. When the weather is cold and the epidemic is raging again, it will be even busier. I don’t have many manuscripts, so I will update it every other day or two. .
